Farmer Xianlang who traveled through time

"The eldest son of the Li family and your husband are here?"

One of the young men who was fooling around said in a strange way: "Hey, this man really looks like those young masters in the town, no wonder you fell in love with him at the first sight."

"Wang Jiashi, what do you mean?" Li Jinshu's expression darkened.

"It's nothing else, this is not the first time I've seen your lord, so why don't people say it's okay?"

Wang Jiashi responded with a hippie smile.

"Stop talking nonsense, Wang Jiashi, Jiang Yuer, Wang Xiaoliang, what are you doing here?"

Li Jinshu frowned and stared at them displeasedly.

The three guys in front of me are all young people in the village. They belong to the rice worms of the lazy and old-fashioned family.

"It's funny, why can't we appear here?"

Wang Jiashi squinted at him, showing a flattering smile, "Li Jinshu, you came at the right time, and your family can't move the land here."

"Li Jinshu, speaking of it, your family is really going too far. Without the consent of the patriarch, your family has reclaimed wasteland again and again. It doesn't take us all seriously."

Jiang Yu'er had an arrogant expression on his face, as if he was the patriarch with great power.

"You mean that we can open up wasteland with your consent?"

Li Jinshu took a deep look at them and sneered in his heart.

Immediately turned his head and told the people around him, "Lin'er, go to the village immediately and invite the patriarch and some elders over."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Li Jinlin ran away.

Wang Jiashi's face turned pale, "Li Jinshu, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean?"

Li Jinshu raised his brows, and said with a sneer, "Isn't that what you mean? If you want to reclaim wasteland, you need the consent of the patriarch."

"Of course, everyone's consent is required. This is our place in Calabash Village. If you want to use our place, you must buy it with money before it can be reclaimed."

In the depths of Wang Xiaoliang's eyes was a strong greed.

"It doesn't matter whether you can reclaim the land here, or whether you need to spend money to buy it, you can't decide, everything will be discussed when the patriarch comes."

Li Jinshu shot a knife-like gaze from his eyes, and said coldly.

"you……"

Wang Jiashi was very angry.

"Jiashi, what's there to be angry about?"

Wang Xiaoliang shouted at the top of his voice: "It doesn't matter who you call, as long as we all disagree with you to open up wasteland, it's useless for the patriarch to come."

"That's right, that's right, these lands belong to the people in our village. Even if the patriarch wants to give it to outsiders, it will only be useful with the consent of all of us."

Jiang Yu'er yelled loudly.

The purpose of their presence here is self-evident.

want money!

The income of the Li family in the past few days has already made these people jealous, and they used the Li family to reclaim wasteland as an excuse to blackmail them.

Li Jinshu was furious in his heart.

At this time, there was a rush of footsteps behind him.

Several people turned their heads and saw an old man in a cloth kerchief staggering forward with his crutches.

Immediately afterwards, Li Jinlin led four or five middle-aged men towards this direction.

Far away, there was still a group of old and young, chatting and laughing without knowing what to talk about.

"Grandpa patriarch, you are here!"

Li Jinshu stepped forward quickly and helped the old man.

The white-haired, energetic, and robust old man is the patriarch (also the village head) of Hulu Village.

"Shu'er, the longer you grow, the more handsome you are." The patriarch said with a cheerful smile.

Li Jinshu smiled sheepishly, "Grandpa patriarch, you're making fun of books again."

"The patriarch, grandpa, is well."

Yan Xuanyi greeted him with a smile, and specially saluted the old man as a junior.

"Well, you're a nice kid, treat our family well."

The patriarch sized him up and nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes, boy, follow your old man's orders."

"Okay, you step back."

The patriarch chased them away in style, and his eyes turned to the three standing on the other side.

Without saying a word, he walked up to the three of them, and without saying a word, he slapped Wang Jiashi hard on the back of the head.

"You prodigal son, what's wrong with you, why don't you go home quickly."

While cursing, the cane in his hand hit Jiang Yu'er's legs fiercely, "You bad bastard, you'll cause trouble all day long, get out!"

"You little bastards, you dare to cause trouble for me everywhere. You don't know what will happen to Wang Qiangzi. You all owe me a beating..."

The cane in the hands of the patriarch swung vigorously, and the youngest Wang Xiaoliang was also hit on the back several times.

"Stop fighting, we didn't cause any trouble, ouch, we really didn't do anything bad."

"Oh, grandpa patriarch, we didn't make trouble, really didn't make trouble..."

"Grandpa patriarch, you are unreasonable. You don't know what happened, so why did you beat someone?"

While dodging the "dog-beating stick", the three retorted unconvinced.

"Okay, you brats, tell me clearly, who told you to come to Li's house to make trouble?"

The patriarch was furious and gave them another slap in the face.

The onlookers who were eating melon seeds also rushed over, just in time to hear their conversation, and everyone fell silent.

"Master Patriarch, we are not causing trouble. We heard that the Li family is going to open up wasteland again, so we came here."

Wang Jiashi said to everyone with a bit of complacency on his face.

"Theoretically speaking, the wasteland belongs to our Hulu Village. If the Li family wants to reclaim the wasteland, we must obtain the consent of all of us. Uncles, am I right?"

Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to answer these words.

The patriarch stared at him unkindly, "What crooked idea did you come up with?"

"It's not a crooked idea. The Li family wants to use the land, shouldn't they pay for it?" Wang Jiashi raised his voice and shouted.

As soon as these words came out, the eyeballs of the onlookers lit up.

"Grandpa patriarch, the Li family reclaimed the land without buying it. Doesn't it make everyone look down on them?"

Jiang Yu'er straightened his back, with an upright expression on his face.

Wang Xiaoliang took a step forward and shouted with confidence.

"If you want to use the land, it's only right and proper to pay for it. Besides, the Li family is not the old Li family. If they have money, they don't want to buy it. This is looking down on the villagers of our Hulu Village."

The villagers present couldn't help whispering.

Who didn't know that the Li family must have made a lot of money by continuing to sell several carts of vegetables and game.

The patriarch knew that everyone was greedy, and his old face showed embarrassment.

"Cough cough..."

Li Jinshu coughed a few times to attract everyone's attention, "Grandpa patriarch, can I say a few words?"

"Shu'er, just say what you have to say." The patriarch nodded.

"Grandpa patriarch, although our family has only moved to Calabash Village for more than ten years, if we remember correctly, my family's household registration should be registered as villagers of Calabash Village. Does this mean that we are not considered villagers of Calabash Village?"

With a slight smile on his face, Li Jinshu asked softly.

"Forget it, of course it does. It was the household registration that the old man gave to your family back then."

With the facts in front of him, the patriarch can't open his eyes and talk nonsense.

"It's easy to say, the household registration is enough to prove that we are villagers of Hulu Village. Why can't my family reclaim wasteland? Why do we have to pay for the land to reclaim it?"

At the end, Li Jinshu shot Wang Jiashi and the others with sharp eyes.

"Does it mean that no matter who wants to reclaim wasteland in the future, they must buy it with money?"

"Your family has just moved here for more than ten years. Our ancestors have been from Calabash Village for generations, so of course it's different."

There was a sudden rebuttal from the crowd, and there were plenty of reasons.

Suddenly, there was an uproar!

The faces of the villagers unconsciously showed pride, as if they were princes and nobles.

Li Jinlin, who was standing among them, showed anger on his small face.

He wanted to say something, but the person next to him grabbed him.

Looking back, Yan Xuanyi shook his head slightly at him, signaling to calm down.

Li Jinshu heard the sound and looked, the person who spoke just now was Wang Jiashi's father, Wang Dachuan.

The rhythm of father and son in battle.

"The public says that the public is right, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is right. Grandpa the patriarch, what do you think?"

Li Jinshu did not veto others' words, and kicked the ball to the elder in front of him.

"Hmph, a bunch of cowards!"

"Grandpa Patriarch, let me first explain that we, as villagers of Calabash Village, need to pay for reclaiming wasteland. Forgive us for not being able to do such absurd things. We will move out of Calabash Village tomorrow."

The face of the patriarch changed drastically, "Jin Shu, don't you mean that we all forced your family to leave?"

"This is also impossible."

Li Jinshu continued with a sullen face.

"Grandpa patriarch, it's not like you don't know how our family behaves. After more than ten years of getting along, everyone still thinks that we are outsiders and unworthy of living in Calabash Village. Of course we chose to leave."

"Speaking of which, it's not easy for us to ask the shopkeeper of Ping'an Inn to buy home-grown vegetables. Seeing that life is getting better, we are thinking of hiring a few villagers as long-term laborers. Now it seems that it is unnecessary."

"It's fine for us to move away, anyway, our house is already dilapidated, so we don't have to ask someone to demolish the house and rebuild it, and go directly to other landlords to rebuild a new yard, which saves trouble."

"What did Jin Shu say?"

The patriarch stared, "Your family doesn't need to move, and no one will force you to move. The Li family is from our Hulu Village. If you want to use the wasteland, you can reclaim it. Let's see who dares to obstruct you."

"Grandpa Patriarch..."

"Patriarch, we haven't agreed yet."

"Patriarch, I don't agree..."

"Shut up, you bastards!"

The patriarch was furious, and swept across with a cane, knocking Wang Jiashi and others staggering.

"Don't dare to babble, old man, I will break your dog's legs."

"And you, whoever dares to have an opinion, stand up and say it."

When his incomparably majestic eyes swept across their faces, those people couldn't help but lower their heads.

"You idiots, have your conscience been eaten by dogs, have you all forgotten the great kindness of the Li family? Pat yourself on your chest and ask yourself, has the Li family ever saved your life or your family's life... "

The patriarch's face was full of anger, he hit the ground with a cane, and pointed at everyone's nose with the other hand and cursed.

"For a few stinky copper coins, you dare to force your benefactor's family away. Do you have the humanity to make people in other villages laugh at our gourds without knowing how? You don't have any shame, I want this even if I am old old face..."

The patriarch is an elder in the village, highly respected, especially very authoritative in the village.

Regardless of whether they were convinced or not, they all drooped their heads and dared not speak.

In the distance, Li Zhenghao and his wife silently watched the scene ahead.

When these words from the patriarch came, they knew that the matter had been resolved.

"Let's go."

After the matter was over, Li Zhenghao turned around and prepared to leave.

Li Qiushi nodded, supported him, and walked hand in hand on the fields in the countryside.

……

Li Jinshu kept his promise and recruited six long-term workers from the village.

Five pennies a month, including food and housing.

The wages are not low, and the villagers are very motivated, and the speed of reclaiming wasteland is faster than that of an old scalper.

……

"Big brother, big brother, I'm back!"

Li Jinrong's crisp shouts came from afar.

"what happened?"

Hearing the sound, Li Jinshu saw the young woman who accompanied his sister back.

The girl in the village, Wang Xing'er, is 14 years old and has a good relationship with the Li family.

"Myolie, why are you here?" Li Jinshu greeted with a smile.

Wang Xing'er shyly shouted: "Brother Jinshu!"

"Come in and talk."

Leading her into the yard, the three of them sat on small bamboo chairs.

"Brother, Myolie wants to ask if our family is still hiring workers, and she also wants to come to our family to do a long-term job."

Wang Xing'er didn't have time to take the initiative, Li Jinrong said it out loud.

"Myolie wants to do a long-term job?"

Li Jinshu was slightly surprised.

Wang Xing'er, the oldest in the family, is the main force at work. She is busy from morning to end every day and never has time to work.

"Yes, brother Jinshu, you, can you accept me? I promise to work hard and not be lazy." Wang Xing'er blushed and looked at him nervously.

"It's okay for you to come to our house to do a long-term job, Xing'er, will your parents agree?"

"Answer, agree." Wang Xing'er was joyful and happy, and nodded desperately.

"Brother, why would his parents not agree?"

Li Jinrong said indignantly: "If Xing'er can't come to our house to do long-term work, I will sell Xing'er to a second-rate man in the next village as a wife."

"Rong'er, you, stop talking." Wang Xing'er lowered her head in shame and yelled softly.

"Hmph, if you don't say it, don't say it, Xing'er, from now on, you will come to our house to work every day, and see who dares to force you to marry."

"I, I don't want to marry!"

"What are you marrying? You are still so young. It won't be too late to wait a few more years."

……

Li Jinshu sat quietly and listened silently, with mixed feelings in his mind. As a neighbor, he had no right to interfere in other people's affairs.

Helping anyone he can, Li Jinshu decided to accept this long-term worker.

Wang Xing'er appeared in the Li family's vegetable garden. She was nimble in her hands and feet, endured hardships and stood hard work, and was unwilling to rest for a moment, as if she was afraid that the Li family would not want her.

"Aw—"

"Squeak--"

The two little guys rushed back home suddenly, making happy noises.

"What's the matter with you, hey, what is it?"

The two spiritual pets came back with a small bag in their mouths, and Li Jinshu took the two small bags over.

One thousand silver bills, more than a dozen taels of broken silver, four healing elixirs, and a few seeds-like things.

"No wonder others say that the golden belt of murder and arson..."

Li Jinshu smiled, and was just about to put away the windfall when a long, slender hand quickly scooped it up.

"Yuan Xuanyi!"

Li Jinshu's pretty face turned black in an instant, and he stretched out his white as jade hand: "Give it back to me."
